The Number of The Beast: WWW

The Number of The Beast: WWW

These descriptions assume a few things about biblical predictions:

1) They are describing future events from the point of view of someone in the past

2) The closer we get to these predictions the easier it should be to see what they really meant


The most fascinating & most quoted prediction tells of how to identify the beast:

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The manuscripts of the New Testament were written in Ancient Koine [common] Greek, or have been accurately translated from those Greek manuscripts into other languages.

If we try to look at different ways this numeral could be written:

χξς  or χις [1]

or

έξι έξι έξι [2]

None of these forms look similar to anything in modern times. But if we look at Roman numerals we get:

VI VI VI [3]

Now if we assume this person from the past is trying to describe something it is seeing from our point of view then this could be:



Thus the closest description of WWW (the world wide web) for someone in the past is V/V/V/ or VI VI VI. 

Of course this alone is a long reach but if we read what's before then it makes more sense:

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [4]

So the image of the beast can speak.  The closest thing that can speak and is connected to the web are devices like Siri, Cortana, Google Assistant and Alexa

These devices are merely images though, so what we can expect is a more powerful AI device to be behind them.  Maybe its address will be just "www".

Apparently in the future these devices will require a mark on the right hand or on the forehead to buy and sell.  Which is already being tried in Sweden and by a company in Wisconsin, USA

Digital money would be the only way to enforce this setup and this too is also being explored in India

So there you have it, AI is the beast and the bible does agree with Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking.  Perhaps it's time to listen!

Red Tide:

Another prediction that could be around the corner:


This has happened in small scale in Florida, USA and was called a red tide.
